Best Western

Convair CV240-1 N240HH at the Planes of Fame Museum, Chino California on the 20th October 1996.

 

Built in 1948 with c/n 47 this old bird was used for trials work with Texas Instruments before being retired to Chino.

 

Since this shot was taken she was been reconfigured with a standard 240 nose and painted up to represent a 'Western Air Lines' machine from the 1950's.

 

Scanned 35mm transparency
